good knowledge so your chiropractor worked with you and he taught you a lot of things about life that you actually thought secondly about your major and

what you wanted to do with your career right I what happened was he fixed my neck and I had a lot of pain down my arms I’m going away so I decided I want to be a chiropractor so I transferred and then I already had you know I was already heavy into nutrition from about chemistry degree my dad got cancer and then I went full bore into cancer therapies and all this stuff or the Gerson Therapy and just went out with nutrition so when I became a

8:34

chiropractor I was already taking outside nutrition classes so I became very good at that and got certified at something called functional medicine and

I’ve taught that for years to other doctors so I’ve pretty well known for nutrition stuff that’s where this all came from that he had his own radio show

10:37

probably several hundred and leads for professionals so they follow up but regular people don’t fall they’re in training mode right this right here it

specializes in creating the highest quality superfood mixes which I want to play a video about the certification that you guys went through before we do

give out your social media contacts in case anyone wants to follow you okay Facebook is my nutrition advisor just of that and I don’t know what the other

11:08

ones are because I never go on Twitter and I’m on tater ambigram mine interested by a nutritionist but if you go to my nutrition advisor com they have

four sample packets of each of these super foods it’s so fun and they ship it to you for free and it’s at my nutrition advisor calm yeah you’ll make eight

you’ll have it stuff to make eight smoothies with what would say that’s great so so watching this video and it’s going to emphasize exactly the process

they went through to make sure that this is the most organic healthiest certified superfood mix for you check it out we’re going to take a couple minutes and go through the certified quality of the my nutrition advisor superfood and smoothie protein products certifications for powders are very important

12:04

what powders are is they are dehydrated concentrated food for instance if you take 30 pounds of wheatgrass and you

dehydrate it it condenses down to one pound of dehydrated powder we are certified organic by the United States Department of Agriculture don’t be

fooled if a company says organic or made with organic ingredients it only has to be 70% organic this means that 30 percent of the product can be full of

pesticides that’s why we want a product that certified organic like what my nutrition advisor has there are many companies that make up their own badges

12:44

and make up their own certifications the badges you need to look for is saying USDA certified organic that means that you’re buying an organic product if you buy one of these made up badges your product may only be 70% organic and that means is still full of pesticides we are non-gmo verified by the non-gmo verified project that means our products do not contain genetically modified foods don’t be fooled with the non-gmo verified batch if it does not have that badge it really doesn’t mean anything a lot of companies make up their own badges but there’s no independent verification and when we go to buy product a lot of companies will try to sell products that say non-gmo but clearly about a third of those products cannot pass the certification so if it does not have the non-gmo badge don’t buy it we are manufactured in FDA registered facilities we also have the sqf certification and the HACCP certification our product is gluten-free tested to be gluten free you need to be under 20 parts per million our product routinely tests below five parts per million one other thing to note about gluten free wheat grass can be very confusing because of the name but the wheat grass does not contain gluten our

14:09

products are third-party heavy metal tested this includes arsenic cadmium mercury and lead we test very good showing we do not contain heavy metals

we also do not contain soy or dairy and/or third-party tested for this some other claims we make is we are raw that means our products are dehydrated at low temperatures this means that it maintains the enzymes which keeps the enzymes alive in our product very valuable we’re also vegan we don’t use animal products and our super foods or our protein our product does not contain added sugar it is simply superfoods
